SERVICES

• You made an instrumental and need lyrics.
• You don't have an instrumental, but you have a general song idea.
• You wrote a song but want options for different lyrics.
• You wrote a chorus and only need verses, or vice versa.

SUMMARY

• After receiving the instrumental and the lyrical topic, I start writing. If you do not have an instrumental, I use either a piano, guitar, or synth.
• I deliver a REFERENCE vocal track, which demonstrates the lyrics and topline (the melody of the lyrics).
• Acapellas for the master recording are a separate order. (I am not a professionally trained singer, but if you need one, I can refer several good ones on here.)

TERMS

• Songs are written on a split publishing basis––we co-own the song.
• A work-for-hire––you own 100% of the song––is available and priced differently.
• Most orders are done within 36 hours. Rush orders are available.
• I truly want you to love your song, so I don't mind doing revisions for free (unless you keep changing the directions you give me).

Jay is one of the best collaborators I've worked with on the site. Professional, communicative, and understanding - he not only has great creative ideas but is simply fun to work with. I highly recommend working with him!

He was so prompt and professional he made it so easy to work with and so nice I didn't have a instrumental and half of a idea with the direction I wanted to go he did the song for within hours thank you so much jay

Hands down Jay is the easiest songwriter to work with on Soundbetter. He always gives you more than what you ask. He never gives you the slightest impression that he's annoy even when you ask for edits. So easy to work with and so talented.

Jay is the man! He's great at what he does. He really cares about pleasing his customers. He ALWAYS go above and beyond by giving multiple options. I have worked with other songwriters were we get sidetracked about trivial things but Jay is by far the best person I've worked with.

I love working with Jay. He's super easy to work with. Always goes above and beyond, has a really good ear for melodies and arrangements that are fresh and up to date to what's going on in music today and he works hella fast!

As always, Jay has made a very good job! I gave him my song in Russian, he translated it in English. In the result, Jay kept the sence and spirit of my song. It is easy to sing it in English. I'm looking forward to collaborate with Jay again and again!

Once again Jay came through!! This time around I need help with Background vocals that just weren't coming like I wanted and Jay jumped in with a great attitude as always and delivered very quickly!!! To a frustrated songwriter, he's exactly who you need in your corner to break writers block.

Once again, Jay did an excellent job in bringing my vision to life. The melody, the lyrics both fit perfectly with in the track. Again he went above and beyond and gave me options to chose from. Enjoyed working with him.

Jay is very talented and very easy to work with. He really went above and beyond in offering me different options for the chorus allowing me to select one before he moved forward with writing the lyrics to the rest of the song. He understands the theory behind music composition which allows him to create a quality product with a quickness.

Always so great working with Jay. He's got amazing music and lyrics and is always such a pleasure to communicate with. On top of that, he knows how important the key of a song is for a singer's register and is beyond helpful with that! Thanks Jay, hope to sing for you again soon :)

Very fast communication and speedy song turnaround! Professional all the way with great prices! Super friendly and just all around awesome experience would like to work on additional projects in the future!

Nice top line writer! Already came up with the first version after a few hours and delivers very handy reference tracks for your vocal melody. Got my lyrics and top line where I'm very happy with in just 3 days!

It was my second time working with Jefferson and it was as great as the first. I appreciate how his direction outlines exactly what needs to be done. His material is professional and made laying down vocals fun.

Jefferson was so easy to work with. His presentation is quality and detailed His direction was specific which made my job easier. Above all, he has great songs! Would love to work with him in the future.

Jeff is a pleasure to work with!!! This the first out of four songs we are working together with and I have to say I was amazed with Jay's songwriting versatility! We are working on four completely different songs in production and style and he nails it! Another thing I loved is that he is always online which makes communication super easy :)

I sang a few samples for Jay which was such a pleasure. Then we did an entire main vocal for a song and it really was an honor to sing for him! He has amazing communication, great songs, kind demeanor...it was a wonderful experience. Thanks Jay, loved meeting you on here and hope to sing for you again soon! :)

Thank you once again Mr Parish your lyrics are just perfect for this track, Jef has the outstanding ability to deliver top line lyrics every time i have used his services. If you are looking for quality and a very quick turnaround then look no further..
Definitely be back soon Jef. thank you Jazzy

Jefferson took on my lyrics rewrite/topline ideas project. He was very easy to deal with. I was very impressed with how quickly he picked up the song and he came back with many new ideas extremely quickly.

We have cooperated on my new song with Jay for a second time! I remain satisfied! We have composed a very good slow-jam for all the ladies:)) Jay is so talented writer! I'm sure enough that we will compose a lot of good songs together!

If there was 10 stars Jef would be getting them all for his work!!!!
There is nothing else to say except Brilliant !! Fantastic !!! and above all Perfect!!!
Lyric writing 10,communication 10,content of lyrics 10.
Will definitely be using Jef from now on for all my Lyrics :)
Thank you Jazzy

It was my privilege to work with Jay! He is true professional in lyrics composing and communication with clients. Of course I will come back to Jay with my brand new instrumentals, beats and we will create the very best songs together!

Woah! This is a seriously talented songwriter! Ridiculously awesome! What Jay provides is top-notch quality lyrics that fit the song perfectly. I will definitely be working with Jay for my future projects. Jay Parish is my go to songwriter from here on out! I highly recommend him!

I am seriously getting shivers from what Parish sent back to me. He really understood what I wanted and made sure to give the song exactly what it needed. If you are looking for someone to write lyrics & topline that will give you shivers - Jefferson Parish is your guy, without a doubt!

Jay is so awesome to work with!! It was a pleasure providing vocals for his songs, he's very talented and provided me with everything I needed to get my job done quickly and efficiently. Looking forward to collaborating again !!
